This is a very interesting card. The fact that this forces the opponent to spend their mana to remove their own creature if they want to cast any removal spell could make it quite good. I mean we just saw in EMA how frustrating it was to play against coalition honor guard, and this makes that their own creature! The fact that the creature can still block could make it not enough of a removal spell to really warrant play, but I think it's interesting enough to spark a discussion. What do we think?
I think it's really,neat and interesting but the fact that it can still block, deal damage and use abikities is a real problem for this card. You're probably not playing games this on a small creature so the creature is still going to be a problem for you. I would much rather run faiths fetters.
Edit: if this was common or uncommon this might be worth it in peasant/pauper but it doesn't have that going for it either.
Tez is a serial mother stabber. Look it up in his bio, he shanks the moms of his enemies. There's a *****/mofo joke in there somewhere...but that's not why I mentioned it.
Why i mention it is because that is Chandra's mom on the card(obvi)and we already know that Chandra will be leading a revolt.

The creature can still block though, and this competes in one of the most stacked slots in the cube so this is a safe pass for me.

I fear for Pia's life.
While flash is always a bonus, you can't redirect the spell in response to it already being cast.

Got it. Yeah this is not going to cut it. Enchantment auras are flimsy enough as it is.
